Zubštejn Castle in mists of time - a photo on Flickriver

            Zubštejn is a gothic castle built on a rocky hill in the early 14th Century. It was a important strongpoint of the mighty Pernštejn family, intensively modernized and rebuilt, but the importance of old castles faded in the 16th Century. They were too isolated, uncomfortable and not representative enough in comparison with the great marble Pernštejn Castle and other city palaces.  Zubštejn is counted as abandoned in 1596. In the early 20th Century illegal communists met in the castle, in WW2 the Czech resistance fighters. Today the castle is structurally secured and opened to public.
This place is beautiful and charming in every moment of the year, but this combination of mist and frost was the best I´ve seen there. I started in bad weather, and just after I walked into the surrounding forest I´ve met this heavy, fast moving mist which flew over the castle and covered everything with fine frost. It was simply magical.
